Assessment of right ventricular function
Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2009To emphasize the importance and clinical implications of right ventricular function assessment in many situations encountered by intensivists and to explain in practical terms how to perform such an assessment at the bedside.Assessment of right ventricular function requires a full understanding of the physiology of the right ventricle.

Evaluation of Right Ventricular Function
Current Cardiology Reports, 2011Right ventricular (RV) function is a powerful prognostic factor in congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension, but assessing RV function is a challenge because of the right ventricle's complex geometry, its extreme sensitivity to loading conditions, and a limited understanding of underlying mechanisms of right heart failure.

Assessment of Right Ventricular Function
Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 1997In contrast to studies suggesting that the right ventricle (RV) often functions primarily as a conduit for blood flow from the venous circulation to the lungs, recent data show that the chamber plays a major role in maintenance of global cardiovascular homeostasis un der many conditions.

Right ventricular function in Steinert's disease
International Journal of Cardiology, 2013Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (MD), also known as Steinert's disease, is the most autosomal dominant muscular dystrophy in adults with a prevalence of 1 to 8000 individuals (1). This disease is characterized by a multisystem disorder. MD is caused by a CTG expansion in the 3'- untranslated region of a protein kinase gene.

Influence of Right Ventricular Pacing on Right Ventricular Systolic Function
International Journal of Cardiovascular Research, 2016Objectives: To inquire, whether right ventricular (RV) pacing worsens the systolic function of the right ventricle (RV) and, if need be, which position of the RV pacing lead is more favourable with regard to the RV systolic function. To test the ability of the 3D transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), to verify the position of the pacing lead Methods ...

Right ventricular function in Chagas disease
International Journal of Cardiology, 1983To study right ventricular function, we performed cardiac catheterization, and right and left cineventriculograms in 60 chagasic patients and 15 non-chagasic, non-heart disease patients. Chagasic patients with normal electrocardiograms and left cineventriculograms also had normal right ventricular function.

1997
Thirty years ago, the right ventricle (RV) was considered to be little more than a conduit for blood flow between the peripheral venous circulation and the pulmonary arterial tree. The physiologic role of the RV systole has been revisited, especially because of the observations of acute cor pulmonale and RV infarction where the RV failure may be ...

Assessment of Right Ventricular Morphology and Function
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2003The assessment of right ventricular morphology and function is of clinical importance in patients with pulmonary disease. Until recently the evaluation of the right ventricle was difficult because of the unusual geometry of the right ventricle. This chapter discusses the various diagnostic modalities available for assessment of right ventricular ...

It is only relatively recently that acute right ventricular dysfunction has been recognised in critically ill patients and has been considered to be an important determinant of the overal effect of acute illnesses, especially respiratory failure, on the circulation.

Noninvasive Evaluation of Right Ventricular Function
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1987Numerous technologic advances have greatly facilitated the noninvasive analysis of right ventricular function. Nevertheless, important clues continue to be available to the astute clinician by physical examination. The chest x-ray is of rather limited utility.
